Icefields Parkway Security/Safety
I'll admit I'm now somewhat paranoid due to our rental car being broken into in Seattle last year, but does any one have any idea if there are any issues along the Icefields Parkway with car break-ins...

It already did. Hubby and I were there about 26 years ago. Didn't take near enough time to enjoy it then but we will this time.
you are planning to go from Calgary to Jasper in one day. That can be done, easily, but I assume you are going to take a lot more time on the way back from Jasper??
Our original plan was to land in Calgary then drive immediately up to Jasper. Due to common sense prevailing we are staying in Calgary our first night and then leaving first thing Saturday a.m. to drive up. It's about 5 hours, without stops. We have until 10 p.m. to check into our cabin so we will take all day to go up the parkway. Anything we miss on the way up will be covered on our way back from Jasper down to Canmore. Once again we'll have all day to get down to Canmore, which is about 3.5 hours away without stops. We also have the option of driving up/down the Parkway from either end during any of our days there, although the plan is to explore as much as we can in the parks and their environs.
